Could this be the weekend that things get blown out of whack in college football?

If Georgia beats LSU, Wisconsin tops Ohio State and Ole Miss upsets Alabama, things certainly will be thrown upside down. But that's a lot of ifs.

The pieces are in place though. The Bulldogs get LSU at home; Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen knows how to keep it close and give his team a chance; and the Tide, with little pass rush and a secondary feeling the brunt of it, face an Ole Miss team that can move the ball.

Because if Georgia can't beat LSU Saturday in Athens, that means Clemson's resume as a national championship contender gets knocked down a peg. So does Florida State's, by proxy (see: FSU beats Clemson; Clemson beat Georgia).

More important for the rest of those who don't live and breathe SEC: a Georgia win means there's one unbeaten SEC heavyweight left in the BCS National Championship race. If you want this unreal run of seven straight national titles to end, Saturday in Athens is a great place to start.

And if you get really lucky, Ole Miss will roll into Tuscaloosa and beat an Alabama team that looks beatable. Imagine the carnage that could play out by late Saturday night.

The rest of college football — specifically, the champions of the Pac-12, Big 12, Big Ten and ACC — will know by the end of September they can shut out the SEC from the biggest game of all if two of those champions finish the season unbeaten.

See why everyone loves Georgia?

"We can't worry about anything or anyone else," Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray said. "Our job from here out is to win games. It couldn't be more simple."

Now, the problem: LSU is playing as well as anyone in the SEC. The Tigers are throwing the ball well with a quarterback (Zach Mettenberger) who finally has developed under pass game guru Cam Cameron, and talented receivers (Odell Beckam Jr., Jarvis Landry) finally understanding the value of not dropping balls.

They've got a star and troubled tailback (Jeremy Hill) who shouldn't be playing but is anyway, and a defense playing at an elite level after graduation and the NFL Draft gutted the unit and left them with nothing but young talent with plenty of motivation.

In other words, you might want to hold off on the death of the SEC. At least for this week.

Ohio State has won 16 straight games under coach Urban Meyer, 11 of those at Ohio Stadium by an average of 27 points.

Meanwhile, we give you this weekend’s opponent Wisconsin. In the last three seasons, Badgers coach Gary Andersen’s teams (at Utah State and Wisconsin) have lost nine games by an average of 3.6 points per game.

No matter how good that Ohio State offense looks with Braxton Miller and/or Kenny Guiton under center, they’re not running away with this game. And certainly not like they have already this fall in three games at Ohio Stadium.

This is more than just Wisconsin historically playing well at Ohio State; this is about a coach and his philosophy of getting games to the fourth quarter and finding a way to win. You better believe the Badgers will get there again on Saturday.

The numbers are as embarrassing as they are shocking: 109th in scoring offense, 73rd in total offense, 76th in passing offense.

For a Dan Holgorsen-coached offense. Now West Virginia’s pass-happy coach will get another chance to make things right against Oklahoma State with his third quarterback this season: former FSU backup Clint Trickett.

Holgorsen says the starting job still belongs to redshirt freshman Ford Childress, but that a muscle injury has forced the change. Trickett left FSU this offseason and enrolled at WVU as a graduate student to be eligible this fall.

In the previous four games — two of which were against FBS teams where WVU scored seven points — Childress and original starter Paul Millard have combined to throw four touchdowns against four interceptions and a measly 6.69 yards per attempt.

In the two losses to Oklahoma and Maryland, Childress and Millard combined for 280 yards passing and three interceptions. It can’t get much worse with Trickett.

Florida has beaten Kentucky every way imaginable over the last quarter century plus one (that’s 26 straight to you and me).

By grinding it out old school SEC, by throwing it all over the field Spurrier style. By running up the score, and scoring with no time on the clock.

So now after we’ve all enjoyed the feel-good story that is Tyler Murphy, let’s understand this: Florida lost its best defensive player this week (Dominique Easley, ACL), and lost its starting quarterback last week (Jeff Driskel, leg) -- both critical team leaders.

Murphy, meanwhile, has never played away from Gainesville, has never dealt with adversity when the crowd is loud and you’ve got make a play. Then there’s the Kentucky defense, which has played well this season and had a pretty good plan for a guy who might be the No. 1 overall pick in next year’s NFL Draft (Teddy Bridgewater).
